Your friends, family, and colleagues mean well. They want you to be happy, successful, or—let’s be honest—not disruptive to their world. But what do you want? When’s the last time you really thought about that?
My clients often tell me therapy took them deeper than expected. I help uncover the beliefs driving behaviors that no longer serve you—not to change you, but to help you become who you want to be.
With decades of experience, I haven’t seen it all—but I’ve seen a lot. And I’m here to help.
Let’s be clear—I’m not the kind of therapist who tiptoes around the truth. If you’re looking for sugarcoating, I’ll mess that up real fast. But my clients appreciate that. They’ve had enough of well-meaning but shortsighted feedback. Sometimes, hearing me call bullsh*t is exactly what sparks something in them—and that’s where the real work begins.
Yes, I’m direct. But I’m also welcoming, encouraging, and calm. I’ll be there for you in your toughest emotional moments, helping you move through them safely and effectively.
You didn’t get here overnight, and real change doesn’t happen overnight either. I’m not a miracle worker—but I am a highly trained mental health professional with decades of clinical experience in trauma recovery, anxiety disorders, and substance use challenges.
We’ll know quickly if we’re the right fit. If not, I’ll make sure you get connected to the right help. What matters most is that you keep going.
I look forward to hearing from you.
When your relationship with drinking or using becomes problematic it can be rather a challenge to step away without support. If your choices are having negative consequences in your life & you're ready to make changes, we can do that..
Have you started to recognize that there's a bigger topic to tackle, or finding that you want to do three sessions in a row so you don't have to 'start and stop' at the end of 50 minutes? Working intensively is designed to address just this challenge.
Anxiety shows up in many ways and has a habit of morphing its presentation. Today it might feel like you can’t get enough done fast enough, while tomorrow binge watching Netflix might be the furthest you’ll get.
Life has an odd sense of humor, doesn’t it? There are changes that sneak up, ones that give us warnings which we chose to ignore. Together we can navigate them to what’s next.
Boundaries are, quite literally, lifesaving tools. The problem is most of us weren’t taught anything about them nor how to use them wisely for greatest effectiveness.
No one gets through life without experiencing the loss of a loved one or the awful feeling of mourning what used to be for ourselves and our own lives. When it shows up in our lives it's nice to have support.
Many of my clients come to me when they’re ready to shut down the chaotic, exhausting performance their life has become.
A Sh*t Show is both a well-rehearsed act and a total mess—carefully coordinated over years with enablers (aka “supporters”) and belief systems that no longer serve you. But now? You’re over it. You don’t like the script anymore. You’re ready for real change.
And hey, now that we’ve established sarcasm as one of your go-to coping strategies, let’s get to work.
I’m here when you’re ready.
This page is here to help you get a sense of who I am. While it’s hard to replicate an in-person connection—especially when you talk with your hands as much as I do—this is a good start.
What you read here, what you see—this is my voice and vision. It’s not perfect, but neither am I. My work is deeply personal and eclectic at its core. I hold space, stay present, and encourage change because I’ve experienced that kind of support myself—and it changed everything.
My hope is that you’ll find that same transformative experience, whether it’s with me or someone who truly resonates with you.
You did not come this far to only come this far.
It does not have to be this way and you are worth so much more than a life filled with worry and fear for the future.
When you’re ready, I’m here.
To get started, I ask that you send me an email with your name and best return email to use.
You’re ready for change, and that has already started ~
I will contact you to let you know your request has been heard because no one wants to be left wondering.
We’ll set up a time for consult and take it from there. Change is hard; a good fit is a requirement.
I’d be honored to help you chart a new course that takes you where you want to go ~ so that your life is dictated by your choices, not habits or relationships that have become destructive.
Welcome ~ let’s keep going.
